Hi everyone, I had a laparoscopy yesterday to remove a large cyst from my left ovary and the surgeon told me I have endometriosis all over my bowel and also all over my appendix. He recommends removing my appendix - just wondering if anyone has experience of appendix endometriosis and how you treated it? It seems to be asymptomatic but physically quite severe. I haven't seen many updates on this type of endo. Thanks.

they found it on my apendix but it was just left 🤷♀️
I had mine removed due to endometriosis, in May of this year. The surgeon noted it would’ve been unethical and unsafe if they left it in.
Thank you, that's really good to know! Did you get it removed by a colorectal surgeon or a gynaecologist? Definitely planning to get mine removed too, the surgeon told me it's very inflamed (but not his specialist area) so I'll hopefully be able to get that done during my next surgery.
